Najaran had spotted the fires and she and her Cards had been trying to carry water buckets to find them until Najaran realized that the fires... Was that a path?

Look, Najaran can be stupid about a lot of things, but sometimes she has moments of clarity and seeming genius. Usually when it comes to combat or tactics. To lessons learned from her Master and her friends. And one thing she learned from Alta was the basics of trail reading. And this trail was written in giant flaming letters.

She wished she had Water creatures with her. But she'd do her best with what she had.

Najaran left Gremlin out, letting him perch on her head. Then she called back everyone except Thunderbeak. Hopping onto his back they took to the air to follow the path of the flames. If it was a creature causing the fires then wasn't it better to stop the creature first rather than just following to fight the fires?

So she flew, keeping her keen eyes open for...

That wasn't a creature! That was... AZULA!

Najaran landed a bit off, remembering that Azula hadn't been fond of Thunderbeak. So she called him back and went to her friend on foot. "Azula?" she asked when she got close, voice concerned.
